Was planning on going into work early then leaving for Colorado Springs with John and Bernie around 11, but I felt all sick the night before and hardly slept at all. \u00a0So instead I just got up late, ate breakfast and rolled out when John and Bernie showed up. \u00a0First stop was the CO Springs park which was mostly clear of snow. \u00a0Bernie had never been there before. \u00a0Bernie and I started out in the backyard pool and did a few carves before we all skated the flat bank for awhile. \u00a0John was killing it quickly. \u00a0Back smith, back smith fakie, blunt pivot, back blunt, blunt back tail, etc. \u00a0It was ridiculous. \u00a0We moved over to the somewhat crowded street area for awhile. \u00a0John was ripping there too. \u00a0He got me to roll in on the steep area up top which was fun. \u00a0I was skating so bad that after awhile I just went up to the little one foot tall spine by myself and ended up having some fun there. \u00a0I got a line with like front D on the little q-pipe then front feeble to backsmith revert transfer over the spine. \u00a0John and Bernie ended up joining me and once again John killed it. \u00a0Fun powerslides over the pump bumbs, blunt back ts on the flat bank, rock ‘n roll on the little extension, etc. \u00a0 Next we all tried some lines on some hips. \u00a0I was trying manual down the downhill manny pad then kickflip back tail over the hip. \u00a0Bernie was doing kickflip manual then double backside flip. \u00a0John was doing 180 into the downhill pad then switch b\/s flip over the hip. \u00a0I don’t think anyone got their line perfect, but Bernie got close and I got a really bad kick back tail over the hip. \u00a0I was still kinda hyped though because I’ve never done it over a hip like that. \u00a0Before leaving we all ollied the longer 3 stair and it took John 1 try, Bernie 3 tries and me 4 tries. \u00a0Imagine that, me sucking.After hitting a few shops, selling some things, eating some food and more driving we ended up at Parker shortly after 7 pm. \u00a0It was supposed to be a quick session. \u00a0This dude Mike<\/a> was there that John knew filming some really crazy stuff. \u00a0Nollie back big front board fakie. \u00a0None of us had even seen that trick attempted before. \u00a0He also switch front big heeled the big gap. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0Bernie and I skated the tall Pier 7 replica. \u00a0I wanted to manny it, but never got it. \u00a0That didn’t stop me from dropping off it a bunch and making me really sore. \u00a0Bernie did a switch nose manny first try and followed it with a halfcab nose manual next try. \u00a0Wow. \u00a0John got one of his patented moves, front shove front nose on the bank to ledge. \u00a0We cruised around a bit too and played a game of SKATE that was to end the session. \u00a0I was the first one out. \u00a0Landing a 3 flip in the cold somewhat negated getting a letter on a front shove, but I was still bummed.I went over the ledge and skated it while Bernie and John finished the game. \u00a0I ended up having a blast on the ledge. \u00a0I got tricks like front 5-0, front 50 back 180 out, back 50, back crooks and more first try. \u00a0I went on to get quite a few of my ledge tricks. \u00a0Front smith, front 50 to front board (aka the Joe Hamilton), back 50 back shove out, back crooks to fakie, halfcab boardslide. \u00a0I also got a back 50 to front 180 out. \u00a0But I use so much angle to get into back 50s that Bernie coined it the “90 in 90 out”. \u00a0Pretty funny. \u00a0Bernie and John ended up joining in on the ledge session that went on for at least an hour. \u00a0John relearned front 5-0s and did all kinds of cool slappy noseslide variations. \u00a0Bernie tried front 5-0 kickflip out and fakie 5-0 kickflip out, but never landed them. \u00a0He also tried front smith kickflip out for awhile. \u00a0I struggled with an old staple of mine – the front 5-0 shove it for quite a while before landing a really bad one. \u00a0It was getting really cold though. \u00a0We left around 9:30. \u00a0Wow. \u00a0Lots of skating. \u00a0The ledge session at the end was my favorite. \u00a0Does it really take me all day to warm up now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
